***apparently I
forgot to send out the March minutes. I was quite encouraged that people
actually noticed because that means that they are indeed reading them (Yipee).
My apologies as secretary for this. One good thing about them coming out so
late is that they will be fresh in everyone's mind at the April meeting which is
next Wednesday April the 21st at
the Civic Centre at 7:00.***
